The Operator controls the 3M™ Steri-Vac™ Sterilizer/Aerator GS Series via a touch screen. A fingertip, stylus, ball tip pen or a computer mouse can be safely used to navigate the touch
screens. To use a computer mouse, simply plug the mouse into one of the two USB ports (reference Figures 6 and 7) and the mouse arrow will appear on the touch screen. There are seven (7)
